    The left is less of a problem as at least their end goals, meeting the basic needs of people, is an honorable goal.

        Ok? The far right has people advocating genocide not just ignoring historical examples.

        Not believing conspiracy theories about supposed Uyghur genocides doesn’t make you any kind of radical. Most governments worldwide (including every Muslim nations outside of Europe) do not recognize what’s happening in Xinjiang as a genocide.

        Let me guess, dictator Chairman Xi Jinping personally developed Covid-19 in a Wuhan Lab to enact genocide against the white race too?

            Really? Your source is a Wikipedia article, that literally anyone can edit, and which has an official policy of not allowing pro-Chinese sources?

            the truth is all evidence of a supposed “Uyghur Genocide” come from (1). Adrian Zenz, an anti-Communist Christian crusader with a proven record of falsifying data to serve his own interests, and (2). The U.S. government, directly or indirectly (such as the UN commission which was led by a U.S. ambassador). Neither are trustworthy sources when it comes to China.

            Ultimately the question is “What constitutes a genocide?”. Because, sure - under the most liberal possible definition of a “Genocide” - there’s a genocide against the Ughyrs in Xinjiang. But only in the same way that Spain is committing a genocide against Catalonians; or that America committed a genocide against Italian-Americans. Teaching the national language, promoting Atheism, and spreading Communism does not constitute a genocide. Implying that it does is an insult to the victims of real genocides, like those against the Jews and Roma, Armenians, American Indians, and Palestinians.

        If you think China is fascist then you have an incredibly flawed understanding of fascism. I think theCCP is a garbage party in a garbage system but they are not fascists

          You don’t think a country that actively censors the internet, monitors and jails people who post “wrong” memes or speech, and indefinitely jails minorities couldn’t be considered fascist?

          People are labeled fascists here and on reddit for much much less.
